Facebook went down: triggers anger and spreads over Twitter like wildfire

Facebook went down yesterday, this is all about what happened when this catastrophe happened in the social networking world and how people reacted to it.

Yesterday night Facebook went down for a few minutes, precisely around for half an hour. But people can’t just keep calm and relax. Angers started to grow up as soon as some of the tech websites including Techcrunch immediately repoerted that it is true that Facebook is not working for many users around the globe. Even the developer status page was down, which worked like a flare to spread the wildfire and many people were posting stuffs related to it on Twitter, some people were disappointed as it was down and they couldn’t update that they’re at the gym or having something delicious, while some others blamed Facebook. Some people even calculated how much Facebook lost during the time and one guy even posted that he had to go out to talk with his friends like our ancestors used to do. Apparently, we can see a clear view what happens when a social network giant goes down. Now, LAPD always gets calls like cable is not working or TV isn’t working. And so ultimately Los Angeles County Sheriff’s DepartmentSergeant Brink had to post that on Twitter asking people not to call 911, as many people were expected to call 911 reporting that Facebook was not working.

#Facebook is not a Law Enforcement issue, please don't call us about it being down, we don't know when FB will be back up!

And the drama continues, some peope keeps sharing jokes, some appeal to rweet about Gaza while some other just keep on blaming Facebook. Now the topic has been changed to #facebookback and many people are tweeting about the status of their Facebook.

Well that was the WORST 50 minutes of my life. God BLESS you, Mark Zuckerberg! #facebookback

It happened earlier also. Facebook’s last outage, which was overnight this past June and lasted about a half hour, also cost the company about half a million dollars. Did you also react over this? What came to your mind? Share with us, a Twitter link or your though, in the comment section below.
